"That Sade took his work seriously is shown by the tone of the "Yet Another Effort"; it reads like the condensation of all he always wanted to say, and now, briefly freed by the Revolution which was to lock him up again, finally had a chance of saying." --"Kakotopia: The Politics of Sade" (1973) by Thomas Molnar
